Maternal Health

The National Partnership works to improve the quality and value of maternity care through consumer engagement and health system transformation.

Our strategy integrates a structural health equity analysis with practical solutions. Our focus is on transforming the maternity and newborn care system into one that is equitable and high-performing. And our priority is meeting the needs of childbearing families who continue to suffer the most from racial and ethnic inequities.
